    I'm lookin for a good all round multivitamin formula. Training and final year college course work have me a bit drained. Also was considering getting some glutamine but can just about afford to keep myself in whey at the moment. Is it worth the money? Thanks!

    I'd recommend Pharmaton myself.

    I take Centrum every day and they seem to do the trick. Though I don't have anything to compare them to. I have heard pharmaton is the beewax but I can't say from experience.

    Just on the Pak, you won't find a more comprehensive multi vit anywhere in the world. It also contains amino acids, digestive enzymes, essential fatty acids and performance optimzers - Without doubt it's the dogs..

    Where do you get it? (non-internet)

    Either of these are good. All natural, all organic and available at your local health store.

    http://www.highernature.co.uk/cgi-bin/HN.storefront/EN/

    Comes in daily sachets - very useful. I am using this now, and it is very good.

    This one has 'timed release' - i.e. take one tablet and the dose is released over the course of the day. Since your body can often only absorb certain quantities of vitamins and nutrients, even if you take the RDA in one tablet you only get the benefit of the quantity your body absorbs in one day. Using a timed release capsule means your RDA dosage is delivered at intervals during the day, improving absorbtion and benefit.

    * I am moving to this one at the end of my packet of Higher Nature on the recommendation of a health food store.

    How much is it? Im assuming its gotta be quite a bit more expensive than the likes of centrum or pharmaton.

    If you cannot get Animal Pak locally, would you recommend Pharmaton as the next best alternative?

    Also re Pharmation, if your training alot (thai boxing) and working in a stress job. should you take more than 1 a day.

    For a while there I was training in morning, breakie after, then take Pharmaton.

    In evening after dinner I would take another Pharmaton or a Centrum instead.

    Plus 2 1000 mg Fish oil capsuls.

    Am i using peeing out the extra pills, or is there sense in taking more than one a day?
